Does “LIKE” Really Earn On MyLot Or Not?

In a recent discussion I wrote a person commented on the discussion. He said that he just likes the comments he receives on his discussions. He said that liking the comment still earned the person money.
I was curious if this was true or not. I searched the help section and found this:
Does 'liking' and tagging (even without responding or commenting) mean those discussions will show up in your activity or in the interesting section? - 'Liking', as mentioned above, affects how a post ranks in the Top Rated Discussions. It also increases the total of the "Likes [received]" shown on any person's profile.
I can’t find anywhere in the FAQ section where liking a comment earns the person any money.
Here on the site I use “LIKES” to like a comment, like a post, or to end the discussion I was having on a post with the person.
Does anyone know if “LIKES” pays or not? I believe in the past, they did, but I am not sure they do now. A few people commented that you can earn very little for a like.

Some people say yes, but I'm not so sure about that.

You are correct. Here is what Alex responded in his post a few months back to another member,

Yes, likes do have some direct bearing on earnings, and I have allowed linking to your own previous discussions if it is relevant to a discussion you have posted.

That is OK because I didn't know either. There are a lot of people who didn't have an idea. Finally, I found out from a post that Alex wrote you do get some pay for the likes. It is not clear in FAQ, but in a comment he made it cleared it up.

@michaeemeka You earn from the interactions you receive, not from the posts you make.
For example, I now comment on your response, you will receive something.
If you don't reply to my comment, I won't earn anything.
MyLot is a little different, but it's still fun and rewarding. 
This is where you will learn all about the myLot Earnings Program

Unless a person responds back to your comment you can't earn. I am late in answering my notification and so now you will earn on this comment. Hope you can understand how this works.

Looks like they do help.

I really don`t mind about it but it really makes me feel good receiving a like from my responds and in return I do the same by liking those good responds that makes sense..It`s a helping each other way..I think

It is a nice way to say thank you and appreciate the comment you left on a post. Don't worry when people like your comments you do earn some from them. You have added to the conversation and the author is happy that you did and has liked your comment.

I have to like or I keep getting the thing coming back until I do. That's all I know for sure.

@poehere ...Thank you. I was very worried about me. That's why I went in. Never been that down before.

@celticeagle This sounds like a very scary time. I sure hope your daughter doesn't push you like this again. I worry about you and hope all is fine now. Please take care and get plenty of rest.

This is so correct and I finally found the answer but not in FAQ. Alex stated this in a post:

I believe you can, but the percentage of a penny is slight compared to commenting on it as well as liking.

I was always under the impression that "likes" pays. I see some members "like" everything and I'm sure they don't read everything they like.

I finally found a clear understanding about likes on Alex post he made in June. I wasn't here at this time so looks like I have missed this. Here is what Alex said:

It is not stated like this in FAQ, but Alex says here it does help.

@RichardMeister I only found it on a comment he made on his post. That is how I knew it did pay.

@poehere I did look in the FAQ and found nothing as well. I think I read Alex's post about it and that is where I got the idea "likes" did help. I just couldn't remember where I had heard it. However, I don't go liking things at will. If I'm going to respond to a comment I usually "like" the comment. Or if the comment has run its course.

They add to the over all money you earn on a discussion. I found this out finally from a post from Admin.

I do not believe it earns a lot but it does contribute to your overall earnings, because it is an interaction. I see you got better and more inspired answers than I could have provided. I also use a like as a placeholder. I know I have been to a discussion if I have liked it, or a comment or response.

It was another member who posted a link to a post from Admin about the new FAQ section. In there after reading and searching I found the answer. it said that we do earn some on the likes that others give us.

I am not at all sure what pays here and what does not pay....I just plod along and see what happens. I have noticed that my bank jumps erratically sometimes a little sometimes a lot.

That is a good idea. I saw JJ comment on the discussion and it didn't say anything about if you earn or not from a like.

Yes they do help us in a very small way. Not a lot, but they do help.
